We had planned to celebrate Robyn’s birthday last Sunday by trying an “escape room”, so I left the boys and grandparents to meet up with Robyn, Theresa, Michelle and Thuy at the locaton.  We were locked in a room after being given some instruction, then the search and puzzle solving began.  We broke open a few locks and were able to advance to a hallway and later into another room.  We were stuck on one lock for a long time, and out of the blue, Theresa and Robyn solved it and had it opened.  We were able to make the home stretch, and successfully escaped in 47 minutes (within the one hour time limit).  We were happy and pleased that we worked together well as a team.

    Next, we (minus Thuy) went to check out a popular Korean BBQ place.  Our appetite was built up after some wait, and we all dived in for a great meaty meal.  It was a yummy dinner and we had a great time catching up.  When I returned home, the boys were just about ready to have their reading time with Grandma.  I made it home just in time to say goodnight to everyone.
